The People: John Webb and the students of Orange P.S.


When I first wrote to principals in western NSW looking for starting points for each day's walk, John Webb was the first to get back to me and offer support. I was surprised and highly motivated by the number of staff, students and parents who turned out on a chilly morning to see us off. Many of their Relay for Life team turned up in their unique orange shirts. I felt very much at home in a community that was as supportive as my own school community.

The supportive nature of the school is a credit to those who attend the school and to John as the principal. It was certainly motivating to begin at a school where the fight against cancer motivated so many in its community.
